We're in a world where many take wedding as marriage, so they wouldn't understand when one say sex is marriage.
They prefer jumping the first and second stage straight to the last stage so as to convince themselves they aren't married.
What do I expect in a world many pretend to frown at virgins so as to pop the cherry before the plan of any wedding.
A joining of two parts can also be said to be marriage. You don't pick a particular definition and leave the rest to suit you.
How do you call a man and a woman, doing all married people do for years, even have children yet they don't see it as marriage because the man hasn't put a ring on her or made it legal? May God forgive us.
If we all think the hymen is all for decoration then we are fools. If we all think exchanging secretions of each other is nothing, then I wonder what kind of beings we are. We do not need to be religious before knowing some things are sacred.
AAlmost all religions (even that of the devils) are aware of the sacredness of such. That should tell us something. |

Then bestiality begins to win fresh ‘converts’ everyday because many young people will do anything to be seen as ‘cool’ or to be associated with some Hollywood or football star. That is how you corrupt a whole society. That’s how previously unthinkable things like atheism and homosexuality and all other forms of sexual perversion have taken root in our society.

Christianity Etc › Stages Of Social Deception by bennyann(op): 7:26am On Dec 02, 2017 |
Social Deception
I think u will luv dis piece of info. Jst 7mins of ur tym n u will b done... I will plead with all to make time to read this lengthy but important slot.
The Six Stages of Social Deception
Social Deception very often is a process by which wrong becomes right, and right becomes wrong. It’s a complete paradigm shift of opinions, standards and morals that is achieved softly, subtly and often takes a generation to entrench into society. Those who engineer it are very deliberate and structured in their approach.
If you want to know what I am talking about, find out your mother’s views on things like sexuality and marriage and compare them with yours. The contrast in opinions does not necessarily prove that she is old and antiquated; it may instead prove that you have been deceived.
There are six stages of Social Deception. The SHOCKER stage The OUTRAGE stage The DISCUSSION stage The TOLERANCE stage The ACCEPTANCE stage The VENERATION stage
If I wanted to popularize the most unimaginable thing in our society, say like bestiality (the practice of having sex with animals). I would follow these steps. I would select a forerunner to drop the SHOCKING message on an unsuspecting public. “It is okay and we shouldn't have problems having sex with animals,” he would announce on radio, TV or in a newspaper. That is the SHOCKER; the bombshell, so to speak.
It would inevitably be followed by OUTRAGE. The forerunner is abused and demonized by the bewildered public. Every respected leader in society comes out to slam the lamentable reprobate who dared suggest something so obnoxious. The forerunner defiantly defends the practice. His critics come out even more scathing. But the forerunner knows exactly what he is doing. He is setting an agenda. Many people don’t understand the effect of continuous exposure on the human mind.
I will give an example most of you will understand. If you ask a girl out and she is not interested in you, the best thing she can do for herself is stay away from you or your words. If she continues listening to you, what was initially unthinkable becomes worth a consideration, then acceptable. Many ladies have fallen for guys they swore never to date just because they didn’t understand the law of continuous exposure.
Once the bestiality message reaches the third stage; DISCUSSION, the forerunner has done his job. At this stage there is a big debate over bestiality; with most people still slamming it, not knowing that they are falling into a trap. It is a known fact that homosexual groups abroad were giving money to people fighting homosexuality in Uganda. Then they would also fund those pushing for it. Initially it didn’t make sense. Until understanding came about how deception works. What they wanted was to keep the subject of homosexuality in public debate. They know exactly what they were doing. The more people are exposed to it through discussion, the more it becomes less obnoxious in their minds.
That leads to the next stage: TOLERANCE. At this stage people say: “I am not going to have sex with animals, but if someone chooses to do it, shauri yake (that’s his problem). Others will say: “Who cares what people do behind closed doors?” I have heard these statements being made by people who clearly don’t understand what they are up against.
This is the stage at which science kicks in to ‘prove’ that some people are born with an inherent attraction "natural orientation" towards animals and they cannot help themselves. Consequently, bestiality will be included in the UN Human Rights Charter and activists are given a new pursuit. Economic and travel sanctions will be used to twist the arms of nations that still forbid it. Then we start hearing phrases like: “We cannot tell people whom they should love.” The main purpose of this stage is to ensure that bestiality is legally accepted.
The next two steps are aimed at entrenching it at a social level. The penultimate stage is ACCEPTANCE. At this stage bestiality becomes a conventional alternative way of living. All the outrage has since dissipated. This is the stage at which those still opposed to it are called BESTIAPHOBIC (the word will be coined) and they are considered antiquated, old-fashioned, intolerant, dogmatic, religious zealots, bigots…. you’ve heard all those words. This is the stage at which there are bestiality rights parades in major cities.
Then we are reminded that the same book in the Bible that forbids bestiality also forbids eating pork. Then ‘intellectuals’ use that to rubbish the Word of God, and make it look ridiculous.
The final step is VENERATION. This is the stage at which the people who practice bestiality are praised. The liberalist media (which includes almost all international channels) subtly promotes them as ‘cool’, intelligent, exposed. That’s the stage at which celebrities ‘come out’ to reveal that they are ‘proud bestialists’.
Then bestiality begins to win fresh ‘converts’ everyday because many young people will do anything to be seen as ‘cool’ or to be associated with some Hollywood or football star. That is how you corrupt a whole society. That’s how previously unthinkable things like atheism and homosexuality and all other forms of sexual perversion have taken root in our society. Unfortunately, in Uganda, homosexuality has reached Stage four (Tolerance). But in the West, it has gotten to the veneration stage.
You have probably heard of the black homosexual American footballer who “made history by becoming the first footballer to come out”. What’s historical about someone proclaiming their perversion? So many other people are being lauded in the media for no other reason other than their homosexuality.
Your mother may not be outdated after all. You may be deceived.
If you found this enlightening, share it with as many people as possible. It might just save them from the ever-widening canyon of SOCIAL DECEPTION... My people, my people, is this true? Oga Seun, this is a discussion you and your sons shouldn't run away from. Because nairaland is one of the greatest tools making obvious the truth in the OP. So, What's your say? Analice107 please I need your speech here. Ishilove, Pidgin2, An2elect2, Muafrika2, MsNgo40... Anything you wanna share on this? I actually got it as a Whatsapp message. |

1StopRudeness: See...pple make mistakes... its happens either way...doesn't make it any worse cos it's a girl that's the culprit this time around...what makes it horrible and unbearable is if the person is a serial cheat...weda man or woman counterpart
She offended the guy....she confessed... Okay...what if she ddnt say anything... See that's what happens in most relationships....the cheating partner isn't caught yet or not confessing on their own.... Pple just go around blabbing my ...."my partner is faithful" All na stunt oooo... A whole lot of relationships with 100% trust and confidence have actually had history of one or two cheating, they look past it and forgive each other....and eventually don't cheat anymore...oga..there's no perfect person anywhere oooo..dont let anybody give u camouflage Truly, there's no perfect person but do you want to tell me you don't believe there are people that have not cheated and will never cheat? Are you aware many now play the confession game so as to decieve? Are you aware many of us sound like we are forgiving on such issues only because we've been there before? Are you also aware that most of those relationships develop trust issues? And we know the consequences. I'm not saying anyone is perfect but no one should tell me it just happened for happening sake. How can you be in a relationship, then have sex with someone else just for having sex sake. Do you want to tell me there was no emotional feelings involved? Did they just meet each other or they've been feeding their lust for each other? Or they had the urge at that time, so it just happened? Anyway, we shouldn't let it happen again |

hopefulLandlord: I think he's entirely correct, you might have your reservations with the word "Stealing" but you have to agree that if by any chance we ask for the religious affiliation of the attendees of this Bonkke crusade we'll see that the overwhelming majority would be Christians already, so the question now boils down to "Is a soul won when a Christ Embassy member becomes a deeper life member?" Most/all deeper lifers would answer an emphatic yes to that while CE members would disagree Dear, though I get you but it's impossible for him to be entirely correct in this case. Crusades like that are meant for Christians to invite others especially those that aren't Christians.. |

Seun: Do you have to be active in your church to be a Christian? No please! The mistake was from my statement and I'm sorry about that. Anyone who accepts Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior, and follow His Commandments is. People attend crusades for miracles. They respond to altar calls because they feel that they have sinned (who hasn’t?) and want to ensure that their sins won’t block their access to miracles. Responding to an altar call is considered as the best guarantee that you are fully forgiven. Most of those people are just Christians feeling guilty. Yes ooo, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God but thank God, that changes when we behold ourselves in God's mirror. The bolded is a best guarantee to who? To oneself or to others? Forgiveness has always been within arm's reach. Well, you called it a consideration. I believe this because in spite of the frequent well-funded outreaches of the rich tithe-collecting churches, there is no evidence that the percentage of Christians in the country is increasing or that the percentage of Muslims and atheists is dropping. If anyone here has ever heard of an atheist, a Muslim or those from any other religion, who are converts to Christianity due to an outreach, then it negates your believe in a way. Besides, you can't tell me the percentages of those you mentioned are constant. I feel you want to say Christians are decreasing in number  I'm pretty sure kingebukasblog can give you the evidence you don't have  You mean I should make pro-church comments too? I guess I support the building of universities by churches.  Sorry, I sometimes forget that facts I take for granted may sound shocking to people who have never had their beliefs challenged. I’ve noticed that the backlash for criticizing deeper life is stronger than the backlash for criticizing Christ Embassy or Synagogue church.  Who can show me a man without one challenge or the other...? Did you say never had their beliefs challenged? This last statement of yours is just so funny to me. Any christian who hasn't faced a challenge yet against his beliefs shouldn't be bold enough to call himself a Christian. If you're referring to someone like me, I've faced challenges. Even right now I'm being tempted to give an atheist a chance in my love life because I'm coming to a conclusion that brothers I'VE MET who spend their entire time busy with church activities more than any other, making them seem like the main God fearing men,...... They just don't seem to know how to love a woman or so I think. And I'm beginning to wonder if nothing within them tells them when they're hurting those they claim they love because they seem not to know when they're hurting another. The funny thing is they enjoy all the love and care they get from you and want more of it. It just doesn't make sense to me. Anyway, that's the latest challenge and I'm hoping not to really fall for that temptation. (my fellow Christians please bear with me for the above) . AAbout deeper life and christ embassy, I would try not to talk much  . But maybe the latter is so used to excessive criticism or the head of the former is so careful living a life that normally wouldn't call for unnecessary criticisms.  |

Seun: Churches aren’t winning souls, by the way. Just stealing souls from each other. Virtually all souls 'won' by churches come from other churches. You're not entirely wrong there but has there been evidence that the souls won from the crusade were all once active in a former church? Stop talking along a single line, cut across the divides also..... That makes it fair. . By the way, is stealing not a strong word? Making general conclusions and strong affirmations on this issue is a no no from the bolded. |

blessedvisky: For the sake of brevity, I'll reply you and Seun at the same time.
If you are conversant with Nigerian Crusades, you'll know that most "converts" are usually very poor and possess little or no education at all. You'll hardly see a young man or woman who can at least feed and cloth himself coming out for such. It's very very rare. The ones who dedicate their time and effort to follow up these converts often use their own personal resources without reimbursement from any one. Now how much tithe can you get from an unemployed man? How much tithe can you get from an uneducated widow who lives on the goodwill and support of friends and family?
The problem here is that you can never ever reason like a *REAL CHRISTIAN*, a true disciple of Christ. The Christian life is one of sacrifice. Widows, orphans and poor people have always been supported by the Church right from the book of Acts... You know seun sounded like the souls are strategically selected after determining the value of their pockets before they're converted. Seun, just try giving us the dislike button and only then would you understand the value of your first post. It's obvious you wouldn't give us the dislike button  |
Christianity Etc › Re: The Reinhard Bonnke's Farewell Crusade: A Great Lesson. by bennyann: 8:01pm On Nov 19, 2017 |
Seun: Focusing on souls that can be converted into tithe-paying members of Deeper Life church will bring in more money on the long run. Smart.
Update: Apologies to those who were offended.  I'm amazed and very disappointed this is coming from you. I use to think intelligent atheists like you deal with facts, reality and proofs and talk along those lines. The op gave us the difference between deeperlife and other churches and you seem to deviate judging by what you put up there. Even if they make more money, it is meant mainly for winning more souls. Don't twist it! The focus of deeperlife is souls and not money, even the devil is aware of this. Deeperlife don't even hammer on tithe like that. This is a church that takes all offerings, whether tithe or not, big or small amount in one bag and once . The church is interested in souls living by God's Commandments and not their money. You have to visit deeperlife for even a month, what am I even saying? A month is too long. Visit deeperlife for two weeks or one week and you would notice the difference within a blink of an eye. They take care of themselves with their own money, feed even outsiders during crusades or retreats. Up till now, i still don't understand how they're able to care for everyone and sponsor programs when they don't demand for what you never give willingly or normally. In summary dear sir, Your post isn't meant for deeperlife.  Well apology accepted if you meant it. |
